Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Fundamentals (SECFND, legacy) — Question 93

What is one of the advantages of the mandatory access control (MAC) model?

Answer options

• A. Stricter control over the information access.
• B. Easy and scalable.
• C. The owner can decide whom to grant access to.
• D. Complex to administer.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The mandatory access control (MAC) model provides stricter control over information access by enforcing policies that are set by a central authority, rather than allowing individual users to manage access. This prevents unauthorized access and enhances security. Options B, C, and D do not accurately reflect the characteristics of MAC, as it is not particularly easy or scalable, and the owner does not have the discretion to grant access.
